In this BONUS episode, I sit down with AnneMarie Dolgetta, the RootedRN, for a wide-ranging conversation about stress, gut health, functional medicine, and why so many people are being told they’re “fine” while their bodies say otherwise. We talk about her journey from traditional nursing to functional medicine, shaped by her early questioning of pharmaceutical-first approaches and her experience working in New York hospitals during COVID. AnneMarie explains how she built RootedRN to help patients get to the root causes of burnout, hormonal imbalance, chronic symptoms, and digestive issues that often go overlooked in Western healthcare.

I share my own experience with stress-related chronic pain and how long it took to find answers, and we dig into the physical realities of burnout, the connection between gut health and immunity, and why functional medicine sees healing differently. AnneMarie offers practical steps for supporting the body — from supplements and stress reduction to understanding dysbiosis and leaky gut — while calling out the systemic gaps that keep people stuck in cycles of symptoms instead of solutions.

This episode is a practical, honest conversation about what it takes to move from surviving to healing, and why listening to your body is often the first step toward getting your life back.
